I'm not certain about serial console.. we haven't tried it. But, you can
try passing: console=ttyS0 when you boot the zImage and see if it works.

The files I just posted resolve this problem. The 1.1 zImage.initrd is on
the CD. *Do not use that* Use the zImage I spoke of in my last email.
If you use the new zImage and the CS 1.2 ramdisk there there are no
symlink issues. It all works fine via CDROM install, etc.
